Underestimation of species richness in neotropical frogs revealed by mtDNA analyses.

PloS one - 31 Oct 2007

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Amphibians are rapidly vanishing. At the same time, it is most likely that the number of amphibian species is highly underestimated. Recent DNA barcoding work has attempted to define a threshold between intra- and inter-specific genetic distances to help identify candidate species. In groups with high extinction rates and poorly known species boundaries, like amphibians, such tools may provide a way...
